The Soil For Potatoes.

Different varieties of potatoes require
different conditions of soil. Some soils
are better adapted for growing potatoes
than others. We all know that not
only can the appearance of any given
variety be changed by radical change
of soil and conditions, but the quality
also. l have yet to find variety that
will produce tubers of equally good
quality on all conditions of soil The
test of earliness depends largely
upon the right selection of soil. The
Early Essex, which | believe to be the
earliest kind yet known, needs a light,
warm soil. Heavy soils will generally
produce Il larger yield, but the potatoes
will not be so smooth and handsome,
and as II rule they will be inferior in
table qualities. have found varieties
that invariably do best on heavy land:
they seem to require it. The different
varieties of potatoes love to choose
their own conditions Of soil rs much rs
different varieties of grasses.-W. Il.

afraid. Little jerome had been kind,
and the two animals never moved nor
growled as he sat down; but he did not
touch them.
There he sat; the people cheered, and
cried: "Hurrah!' They threw money
into the cage. The elephant picked
some of it up, and gave it to Jerome,
who came out safely! In the evening
he went in again; the lionness and the
panther never moved paw against
him, and so on for four times he went
in, and made great deal Of money.
The wicked Maltait was very angry,
and said: The animals are stuffed, not
alive" So the people made him go,
and pushed him in! The lionness never
moved! "Ah?' he said; you see it's
all sham!"
But the panther knew him. 1t knew
it's cruel old masters voice; and as he
was going away it turned and sprang
on him! His legs were fcarfully hurt,
and one had to be cut off. So he was
punished well for his cruelty.
The little jerome never went into the
cage again; and when he grew up had
quite forgotten all about his adventure
with the panther and the lionness.-

CHURCH-GOlNG ATTIRE.
Why the wealthy Should Dress Modestl.
When Attending Divine Worship.

When Attending Divine Worship.
Costly and snowy dressing is not be-
coming to church-goers.. Aside from
the unseeming vanity it suggests, and
which does not accord with the spirit of
worship, it not only tends to distract
the attention of others, but to excite
feelings of envy and emulation under
circumstances the most criminal and
cruel. Indulgence in costly attire and
novelty of style are not generally
prompted by mere taste, but to minister
to pride by securing admiration or to
provoke invidious comparisons. To
greater or less extent all gay and
extravaganza dressing is prompted
by one or the other of these personal
considerations. To indulge such feel
ings under any circumstances is
manifest Improperly, but to do
so in connection with religious services
is shocllingly sinful. The Graphic
sharply rebukes the prevailing fashion
of snowy church toilets in these words:
"Why dress for church in garments so
| costly and of such variety that they
must necessarily attract attention? The
place is not adapted to such displays.
They distract attention from church
purposes. 1t is too much to say of any
lady that she seeks attention to the
sacrifice of that which should be devoted
to book, or sermon, or prayer; that she
airs her vanity when she should most
show humility; that she wants to excite
envy when the heart should be empty
of all selfish and other personal con-
sideratons, but, surely. she does not
dress in that manner altogether to
please herself, and IL is Just possible
that she takes to herself n somewhat
irreligious satisfaction on making the
discovery that no other lady has her
costliness of plumage and her superior
ity of display"
There is another consideration that
ought to restrain the well-to-do and the
wealthy from indulging in snowy
church-going attire. We refer to its
tendency to discourage those who are
not able to deck themselves in costly
garments from attending upon religious
services. They do not wish to be con-
spicuous for cheapncss of apparel any
more than a properly sensitive woman
would wish to be conspicuous for the
luxury carried on her back. These
women can not attend church without
something of sacrifice of perfectly
proper pride, whereas if plain dress
were the rule at church they would be
as much at ease ut church as if there
were no thought of dress in any place
in which it does not belong.
Assuming the correctness of these
views, it is clearly the duty ofall Chris
sian women to dress with simplicity for
church services so as to make no marked
distinction between the appearance OF

are widely different, -BaptiSt Weekly,

A tax-title case in which property
amounting to about $4,000 is involved,

der to her the certificates, which were al
lowed to remain in the possession of Chester
A. Congdon, the attorney and agent for Heer-
mans.
In May, 1885, Mrs. Trott executed a mort
gage to Albert Scheffer for $1,000. This
mortgage was foreclosed and Albert Scheffer
bid the property i'll for SS,73S.O5. Last May
Albert Seheffer assigned the property to the
plaintiff, who has ever since been the holder
of the sheriffrs certificates of sale, which
were executed to Albert Scheffer.
The plaintiff charges Heermans with con-
spiracy and intent to defraud. He alleges
that in August, 1856, Heermans combined
with Defendant Hine for the purpose of
cheating and defrauding Ann Eliza Trott,and
all claimants under her, including the
plaintiff by taking advantage of a mistake
or inadyertance of Mrs. Trott whereby the
said certificates and the assignments of the
several tax sales were not surrendered to
Mrs Trott and the county auditor.
A peremptory injunction is prayed for to
prevent Hine or Heermans from setting up
any claim to the property.

HE SAT ON THE TRUNK,
But the "Con Man. Who Swindled
Him, Oh, Where Was He?

HI tI1l, oD, WnGr6 W as lie!
''Excuse me, sir, but please get off my
trunk" said man in travelling garb,
approaching rural-looking chap, who
was sitting on the end of big :'keyster"
in the baggage room of the union depot.
"Your trunk?" echoed the rural.
"You don't fool me. 1 reckon I've
heerd of just such fellers as you be-"
replied the rural, throwing his leg far
ther across the corner as if to hold pos
session.
They parleyed. a few moments and
the argument grew hot. The first man
grabbed the rural by the collar and,
by the baggagemaSter. Then the drum
mer showed a check for the trunk in
question and got the baggageman to re-
tag it. When the rural's, breath came
to him again he told his side of
the case, and the story was this:
The rural was from. Canada on his way
to settle in Dakota. His name was
Henry Walker. He had been ap-
preached by smooth-looking stranger,
who soon established an acquaintance
with him, and said he was bound for
the same destination. They had little
toddy together at the strangers expense
and then the stranger just happened to
run short of ready money. The stranger
showed the rural check for $3.50,
which was signed by Fisk & Co.. and
showed him his trunk-the trunk afore-
said. The rural thought he must be a
rich man, and accommodated him with
S55 in ready cash. Then the stranger
remembered he had an errand up town,
and left the rural sitting there on the
trunk to await his return The rural
was still sitting there when the real
owner came up.

when he heard the story, and he might
have added: ''neither are the coli men. -

WEST SIDE DOINGS.
Several Things That the UniO
Considered Last Night.

SeVeFai innings InaC the Union
Considered Last Night.
The West Side Citizens union met in
ThompSon's hall last evening. A reso-
luton was unanimously passed in favor
of abolishing the dump on the river bank
near the city limits. Copies of the reso-
luton were ordered to be sent to
the council and the Dayton'S
Bluff union, as the latter
union is even more opposed to the dump
than the West Side Union. The adver-
tiSing committee made a report and
were granted further time to finish their
plans for advertising. President Camp
bell gave notice that at the next meet
ing the matter of changing the name of
the West st. Paul park would come
up, and therefore requested
full attendance. Some of the members
expressed themselves in favor of calling
it Livingstone Park, which it is quite
likely will be done. o. S. Boston
brought up the matter of abandoning
Sibley street, and moved that it be
made a special order for the next meet
ing. He was in favor of selling it, and
in that way making it taxable. If it
were taxable it would help grade Da-
kOta avenue, and thus help all that por
ton of the city.
